    Windows Mail - contacts problem


    Hi All!

    I'm having a problem with Mail:



    a the drop down list has all kinds of contacts which are NOT in People - where do they come from?

    I recognize some from my work email, but I did not put them in contacts/people.


    b contacts I DO have in People are not completing by first name anymore, as it used to be and as it still does on another machine.

    It only completes/fills a contact when starting with the actual email address.

    Contacts are set to "First Name" in settings.


    I reset Mail, re-imported contacts ... to no avail.

    - Is there any way to get rid of unwanted contacts? again: they are NOT in People, so I can't delete them

    - How can I make Mail operate/auto-fill on First Name again?


    I also looked in Outlook webmail - unwanted contacts are not there either.


    Thanks

    :)

    Deleting contacts from Windows 10


    When you say Windows Mail Live are you referring to Mail app or Windows Live Mail?

    I suggest you to try the steps provided below and check if it helps.


    • Open Windows Live Mail.
    • Press Ctrl + 3 using your keyboard. Right-click on the contact to delete it if it is a single contact.
    • Highlight all contacts by pressing Ctrl + A.
    • Click Delete located on the Ribbon bar.
    • Click OK when you see the message These contacts will also be deleted from Hotmail, Messenger, and other Windows Live services.

    After following the steps above, all your contacts that you have manually added to your account will be deleted however, contacts coming from third-party sites such as Facebook will not be deleted unless you remove Facebook from your account.

    For Mail app:

    Open People app then delete the contact.

    Hope this helps in resolving the issue. If the issue persists, do get back to us. We will be happy to assist you.
